If it's the other type it could be a partially blocked cold feed or partially closed valve in the cold feed. (your taps may bang and knock a bit during this) A compact valve designed for use with hot water heaters to prevent a vacuum forming in installations where there is the potential of the draw off rate exceeding the rate of flow to the inlet, this can occur in properties with multiple outlets below the base of the hot water heater.

When you refill the system you should make sure the expansion tank does in fact take in a certain amount of water. (your taps may bang and knock a bit during this)
